    It's my body my choice. Although it is easier for me as my husband and I have similar tastes.

    ^^^^^^ Here is a perfect example of a beautiful work of art. This is not even close to being "trashy", to be close minded to such beauty is almost criminal.

    I say that exact same thing to my wife when I share my body with other women..My body my choice



    /sarcasm for those who are slow or just hate men who have an actual backbone

    My gut reaction is that you should tell him since you know it will not go over well. Do not ask his permission..Just say you are doing it and why. This is if you want it that badly. You need to ask yourself if its worth causing an issue in your relationship. I think lying by omission will have a more deleterious effect on your relationship because you will weaken trust.

    My ex husband did this. He went off and got a tattoo in South Korea. I was pretty upset he didn't discuss it with me first. I felt left out. Then again, I doubt I would have agreed to what he chose (he put "Drinky Crow") on his calve. He didn't even know what the cartoon was! I must admit that a depressed crow with an addiction ends up suiting him well.

    There's nothing wrong with an open relationship

    So are you saying that the wife should have her husband's permission to get a tattoo? Or are you just railing against a woman's autonomy in general?

    No, just responding to the people who can't take a joke and reponded negatively to the other poster

    Gotcha. There should be a "joke" emoticon, or at least a "sarcasm" or "snark" one.

    Get it. You are your own person and no one should be telling you what you can and can't do. It's a damn tattoo, people are trippin' acting like she's cheating or something. You do what makes you happy, hun. :) xoxo

    Would you sell your SO?

    And yes, I would.

    My thoughts:

    Well from the "hubby's" point of view, I have to totally agree with HIM. When my wife mentioned the possibility of getting a small tattoo I told her that it would be fine, her next husband would probably like it. No argument, no further conversation was needed.

    Love it when one of the first posts manages to be: 1) derogative/dismissive towards his spouse, 2) almost deliberately inflammatory,and 3) so absurd I could throw up a dozen times into my own mouth and still prefer the rank stench of my own breath to reading anything else from this poster.

    On a more light-hearted note...

    I agree it is your body/your choice. That being said, I try hard to maintain my appearance to attract my husband, not turn him off. You're running a huge risk here IMO.

    Surely if the fat and stretch marks didn't turn him off.... lol

    Has he told you they do? Because fat/stretch marks (likely from a baby?) and tattoos are very different things.

    I know, I was kidding. I'm definitely going to talk to him. In hindsight, it was really stupid of me to be scared. If he gets angry and starts a fight then he's the one in the wrong. If he gets angry and yells after I do it, I'm the one in the wrong. Hopefully we can discuss this in a reasonable manner tonight and no one is wrong :)

    You should look up the true definition of troll. That was not it.

    Well my husband also doesn't care much for tattoos and I love them. Mine are all in placed that can be hidden but I do not believe they are trashy in the least bit. I would say go for it if you really want one, but first tell your husband. If the argument would be that bad then maybe reconsider.

    This guy is a ****, first of all. Second of all, you're both adults. You don't need his permission, and he doesn't need to be childish about it.

    Third of all, he'll probably never trust you again, and I honestly wouldn't blame him. Don't sneak and do things behind your husband's back.

    First of all, show me where the word "permission" was used in my post. Second of all, as previously stated in a reply, I never said she had to do or could not do anything. Third, there is absolutely nothing childish about stating your position, THAT is being an adult,

    First of all being an "adult" isnt giving your wife an altimatum being an "adult" is saying "well hunny it isnt particulary my cup of tea but if its what YOU want i support your decision." Your being childish, close minded, and forceful.

    I like you!

    So, all I have to do is tell any woman I'm dating if she doesn't support me wanting a thresum, then she is childish, close minded, and forceful for not supporting me with something I really want if she threatens to leave me? Like you I don't like ultimatums!

    These forums are teaching me a lot!
